Twitter Spaces team cut down to ‘roughly three’ employees from 100

Twitter Spaces team, which once had as many as 100 employees, is down to “roughly three” people, a report has revealed, as the technical “fiasco” during Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ 2024 US presidential election bid on the platform this week rocked the world.

For months now, the Spaces team has been operating without most of the “institutional knowledge it accumulated since Twitter added live audio conversations in 2021 to compete with then-hot Clubhouse,” reports Platformer.

“Practically no one remaining knows the current architecture in depth,” one person wrote on a pseudonymous employee forum called Blind.
